Birthday Boy and DOMA.

Hello Blogpickers! I hope this day finds you all well and enjoying life wherever you may be! Today is my birthday too. I’m forty five……gosh.

Today’s link is a great birthday present. It talks about a fantastic decision of a federal appeals court that ruled that DOMA, the Defence Of Marriage Act, is unconstitutional. This is the first time that an appeals court has ruled this way and brings things one step further to a Supreme Court decision. Who knows what way the Supreme Court will vote on something like this, but each time that a lower court declares it unconstitutional that surely has to strengthen the case.

We’ll keep an eye open on this one. How many more appeals does it have to go through before it gets to the Supreme Court? Any of my American friends care to enlighten us all?
